Edward Gibbon
 English historian of Rome

| “ | All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance. | ” |
| “ | History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.
| ” |
| “ | Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.
| ” |
| “ | We improve ourselves by victories over ourself. There must be contests, and you must win.
| ” |
